After explaining the purpose of coming to Decker City, Lauren stared at Arnold.

"Do you know what to do next?"

Anol's eyes were firm.

"Master Laurent, please give me an order."

Lauren nodded slightly, looked at Fianna, and patted the table lightly.

Without hesitation, Fianna stepped forward a few steps and put the gray cloth bag in her hand on the table.

bang~

There was a heavy sound, like a stone hitting a wooden board.

Arnold was taken aback for a moment, just about to open his mouth, he saw Lauren beckoning him to open it, so he immediately stood up and opened the cloth bag.

In the next second, more than twenty neatly stacked gold bars were exposed in the air, shining golden light.

"gold??"

Arnold was a little surprised.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he looked at Lauren with a bit of excitement.

"Master Lauren, did you discover a gold mine?"

The endless wasteland is most famous for its numerous mineral veins, and it is nothing new for pioneer lords to discover gold mines.

gold mine...

The corner of Lauren's mouth twitched.

After capturing the wild boar gathering place, the kobolds found some unsmelted gold ore from it.

At that time, he was also enthusiastically sending barbarians and kobolds to look for ore veins around... But in the end, it was embarrassing to find that no one knew how to find ore.

This matter has always been on his mind, and this time he came to Decker City for another purpose, which was to buy a few prospectors back.

After briefing Arnold about the discovery of gold ore in the wild boar gathering place, the thin thief immediately became excited.

"Master Lauren, wild boars are notoriously lazy and greedy, and they are not interested in anything other than food.

There is a high probability that there is a gold mine near that gathering place, so I will send people to buy prospector slaves..."

Seeing Anol who was in a hurry to go down, Lauren couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't be so anxious, go later."

"You will have people sell this gold and exchange it for funds. In addition, send someone to a glassware store to buy some glass bottles of this shape..."

As he spoke, Lauren took out a piece of paper and handed it to the other party.

Arnold took a look after reaching out to take it, and found that there was not much special about it except for the strange shape.

Immediately nodded, "Yes, my lord."

After several tasks were explained, Lauren's face relaxed a little.

"Arnold, report the news about the Bauhinia Business Alliance and the intelligence department."

Because of the lack of information, his understanding of Decker City has been completely stagnant for more than half a month.

The purpose of subduing Arnold back then was to plant a nail in the city of Decker, to have his own source of information, so that his eyes would not be dimmed and he would not know anything when he was about to do something.

"Yes, my lord."

Anol's expression immediately became serious.

"The Merchant Alliance currently has 23 staff members, all of whom are business-savvy talents purchased from the slave market, and they will follow your orders at any time."

"From the third day after you left, the five member chambers of the Bauhinia Business Alliance have successively used the name of the Bauhinia Business Alliance to apply for tax relief.

During this more than half a year, several large-value transactions were completed, which made a lot of profits. "

Lauren nodded.

He obtained the first start-up funds from five chambers of commerce with the temporarily unused aristocratic tax deduction quota.

This deal is a win-win,

With the funds he purchased the barbarians and survived the bloody day.

And several chambers of commerce earned more money as a result.

The habit formed by Lauren's hard work on the earth - to take a long-term view and not simply care about short-term gains and losses.

As long as the strategic goals can be achieved, the decisions or sacrifices that should be made, he will do it without hesitation.

Because the business alliance has not yet been put into operation, the report is only a few words.

When reporting on the weeds, Arnold was immediately in high spirits.

"The intelligence organization you asked me to form has already taken shape.

I named it Weed.

Wild Grass currently has 27 intelligence officers, all of whom are thieves..."

"During this time, I was mainly collecting information about the Chamber of Commerce in Decker City, and completing the task you gave me..."

"The list of Wild Grass is top secret. Although the old Wild Grass members know some of them, most of them are separated..."

"Weeds in the future will implement a single-line connection. Everyone is an independent existence. Except for the superior, the peers cannot communicate with each other..."

"Next, I plan to take the initiative to recruit new members and let them become our main force..."

"Open up peripheral forces, establish additional intelligence collection systems...

"Use money to open the way, buy intelligence..."

Although what Arnold said was a bit messy, the content was very detailed.

From the operation mode of weeds to the method of training newcomers in the future, there are solid plans.

Lauren listened very carefully, and would immediately ask questions on key points and give his own suggestions.

After checking for deficiencies and making up for omissions, some defective plans were immediately corrected.

After the final discussion, Lauren looked at Anol with satisfaction.

"The future development plan of this set of weeds has certain rules and procedures.

It can be seen that this must have been determined after in-depth research and detailed discussions. "

"Operate with peace of mind. Once the Bauhinia Business Alliance is launched this time, a steady stream of funds will flow in. I need you to truly take root in this land.

I hope you can become real weeds, inconspicuous but ubiquitous. "

He likes the name weed, which is humble and small, but has tenacious vitality.

Arnold, who was encouraged, immediately responded excitedly.

"Lord Lauren, I will use my life to carry out your will!!"

Yes, weeds will one day be as Lord Lauren said.

everywhere.

He swears on his life!

Looking at the little thief he had single-handedly trained, Lauren suddenly seemed to remember something and asked.

"Is Decker City suffering from the bloody polluter's attack this time?"

Arnold shook his head.

"My lord, we can't find out whether the battle in Decker City is tragic..."

"When Decker City was first built, there were traitors who betrayed them on the Bloody Day, which almost led to the fall of Deker City.

Therefore, the law stipulates that on the day of blood, no one is allowed to approach the city wall, and those who violate it will be hanged. "

After speaking, watching Lauren frowned, as if thinking of something, he said quickly.

"Lord Lauren, we overheard what a city guard said after drinking in a tavern, that the monsters of the Bloody Day are extraordinarily powerful this time."

"Decker City doesn't seem to have suffered much damage, but many territories on the endless wasteland have been breached.

It is very likely that there will be a large wave of refugees pouring into Decker City in the near future. "

Refugee tide? !

A gleam flashed in Lauren's eyes.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable, the elder of the city guard has a high position in the army, so he can often hear some non-confidential news.

We have obtained a lot of information from him before, and they are all very accurate. "

This is indeed not a secret, but this news means a lot to Lauren.

After pondering for a moment, he said in a concentrated voice.

"Immediately make arrangements to find out where refugees will appear and how many people there are.

I need the most accurate information.

Huiyue City is currently extremely short of population..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was already very clear, he was going to hit these refugees.

Anol nodded immediately, "Yes, my lord."

After the explanation, Lauren directly asked Anor to go down to arrange the task.

When the figure of the other party disappeared, Fianna looked at the extremely handsome boy.

That brilliant temperament can make people's heart tremble no matter when it is.

He said with some hesitation in his tone.

"Do you need me to return to the territory and mobilize the army to come..."

It is too unrealistic to want to bring refugees back, only the two of them.

Lauren shook her head.

"Find out the news about the refugee influx before making a decision."

Fianna nodded and didn't say any more about it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the list of supplies that Arnold hadn't taken away on the table, and after thinking about it, he asked.

"There are two hundred sets of D-rank armor on the list... Are we going to purchase supplies as planned?"

Lauren tilted his head and looked at the girl, laughing.

"Of course we have to purchase according to the plan. What are you worried about?"

Fianna didn't smile, but frowned.

"The price of high-grade equipment is very expensive. Even for the most common D-grade equipment, a complete set of armor costs at least 200,000 pukes.

200 sets are 40 million... The selling price of those golds is at most tens of millions, and there is a big gap in this money. "

"In addition, buying food, cloth, steel, etc. requires funds, and we also need a lot of money to buy slaves..."

Fianna is even more familiar with the family background of Huiyue City than Lauren. Before the city hall was established, she was in charge of these issues.

Lauren's plan will undoubtedly allow Bright Moon City to develop rapidly, but the problem is that the current funding gap is too big.

According to her rough estimate, if the purchases were really made according to the material list, 50 million pokes might not be enough.

Huiyue City didn't even have 2 million on the books, but 50 million. This figure made her feel heavy.

Hearing this, Lauren acted as if nothing had happened, and slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the warm black tea.

"Fianna, do you know what I asked Arnold to buy those glassware for?"

The girl shook her head decisively.

"do not know."

If it was a month ago, she would have been able to see through what Lauren was doing, but in the past month, what Lauren thought and did has completely changed her.

Acting completely unexpected, and full of admirable charm.

Lauren was not surprised and smiled.

"Those glassware are the source of funds for this procurement..."

Fianna was a little taken aback.

"Those glassware worth a few thousand pokes... make tens of millions?"

But what was even more outrageous was that she found that she didn't even have the slightest doubt about what Lauren said...

It seemed that as long as the boy said it, it would definitely come true.

Even if it is such outrageous words to earn tens of millions with thousands of pokes.

Lauren nodded, a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes.

"Tens of millions? That's just a fraction..."

His biggest asset in this world is the dual blood vessels in his body, and the dual breathing method, plus a bug-like system.

But apart from these, there is still a monstrous wealth that no one knows about hidden in his mind-knowledge from the earth.

The fruits of civilization developed by the earth for thousands of years are left for him to pick.

Although he doesn't have a lot of knowledge that can be used in this world, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, he knows a lot of things.

Just like his industrial conception, this is super-age knowledge that is difficult to imagine and touch on the main plane of Nuoer.

As the soul of the earth, he should spread the civilization of the earth in this world, benefit the world, improve people's living standards, improve social cohesion, and build a harmonious society together...

Tens of millions is just a fraction?

Fianna couldn't understand Lauren's thinking.

"Did you learn ancient alchemy? Are you going to make a lost alchemy potion for sale?"

Apart from this method, she really can't think of anything that can earn tens or even hundreds of millions of pokes with a few glassware...

Lauren smiled, and just about to introduce her to the other party, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the guard, and then a young man's servant trotted into the house.

After saluting respectfully, he said softly.

"Lord Lauren, the young master of the Buck family is visiting."

Buck family?

Lauren was stunned.

Quickly go through the memory in your mind.

Then he frowned slightly, what kind of stag family has no friendship with him.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded slowly.

"Bring people in."

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after the servant left, the sound of trampling ~ leather boots trampling the floor came from a distance and gradually approached.

After a dozen or so breaths, the semi-circular arch was suddenly blocked from light, and the room was instantly dimmed.

A high-spirited noble boy with short pure golden hair and a luxurious noble dress appeared in front of Lauren.

"Your Excellency Lauren, the eldest son of the Buck family, Enli Buck, send you my greetings."

Lauren stood up and looked at the noble young man in front of him with interest.

"Your Excellency Enli, we seem to have met somewhere..."

Enli Buck's face froze. When Roren was preparing to fight the barbarian chief, he was still taunting him...

Of course, what happened later was beyond his expectations. Lauren's car overturned the barbarian chief and he was slapped several times, his face was swollen by himself.

The eldest son of the marquis was worthy of being a descendant of nobles, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and bowed slightly to Lauren.

"I apologize to you, Lord Laurent.

I was the one who underestimated you that day. How could the descendants of the Bauhinia family be stopped by the barbarians? ! "

Loren's tyrant-like attitude was still in his mind.

That arrogant figure won his respect and recognition by virtue of her absolute strength.

There is even a little worship deep down in my heart...

Men, as it is!

Lauren looked at this noble son with a little bit of surprise, who is not young and arrogant at this age?

To be able to apologize so simply, there is something about aristocratic education.

The children of nobles or rich families who have all kinds of resources are actually more likely to produce talents than ordinary people. There are no idiots, but they are a minority after all.

It is difficult to become stupid after enjoying all kinds of high-quality resources and education since childhood...

Lauren didn't bother to talk nonsense and said straight to the point.

"Your Excellency Enli, what is the purpose of coming to see me today?"

"Your Excellency Lauren, Eldest Sister appreciates your heroic demeanor of defeating a gold-rank barbarian with a body of silver in the slave market.

Let me take an invitation to invite you to the stag manor to attend a dinner specially set for you... Please be sure to be present. "

After speaking, he handed the invitation to Lauren with both hands.

The eldest daughter of the Marquis of the Bucks invited her, and the eldest son handed over the post. This act gave Lauren enough face.

However, Lauren was beyond Enli Bucks' expectations, and directly waved his hand, rejecting his invitation.

"Your Excellency Enli, although I am willing to participate, you know that the bloody day has just passed.

My territory has suffered a lot of damage in this natural disaster, and I urgently need supplies at this moment.

I came back to Decker City also for this matter, and I didn't have much time to stay..."

In the past, he might be interested in experiencing the aristocratic banquet on the main plane of Noel, and having an in-depth exchange with those aristocratic young women, talking about life ideals.

But at this time the threat of the lizardmen was approaching, and he was in no mood to chat with a group of nobles.

Enli Buck waited for his words to fall, and immediately came back to his senses, full of admiration.

"Eldest sister told me that if you refuse to go to the banquet, it is most likely because of the territory. Your Excellency Lauren, you really have high hopes."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and his tone was very meaningful.

"But today's banquet is different from the past.

Eldest sister appreciates you very much, in order to make friends with you and establish friendship, she deliberately intercepted a group of more than 200 half-orcs captured by the family in the endless wasteland, and prepared to present them to you..."

A gleam flashed in Lauren's eyes.

200 orcs?

Based on 50,000 pokes each, these 200 orcs are worth tens of millions.

Should it be said that he is a descendant of the Marquis? So generous at the first shot.

But Enley Bucks was not done yet.

"More than that, Eldest Sister is willing to donate 200 sets of D-class armor as a set..."

"Maybe you'll be interested in that."

Lauren's heart skipped a beat.

200,000 Puke sets of D-class armor... 200 sets at a time?

This is 40 million?

I don't know the fragrance of a rich woman when I am young...

Lauren glared at Enli Bucks, you said it would be nice if you said it earlier, we are all at your house now.

Dallying, delaying my going to the dinner party.

It doesn't matter whether the half-orc slave is a slave or not. He mainly wants to experience the aristocratic style of this world and chat with noble girls...

"Your Excellency Lauren, what do you think?"

"lead the way!"

Lauren was so decisive that he didn't say a word.

People have to ask for courtesy, and the other party was willing to spend such a high price to seduce him, which made him a little bit interested.

He wanted to see what the eldest daughter of the Duke of Bucks wanted to do.

Go back quickly, he still has to go to the slave market to dig treasures to fill his demon army.
